About Blessed Robert Widmerpool Catholic Primary and Nursery School

Blessed Robert Widmerpool Catholic Primary and Nursery School sits within Nottingham local authority, where it ranks 11th out of 74 primary schools of the same type, placing it comfortably in the top 15% of its local peers. The school is one of only six in the authority to hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, a distinction it shares with the top-performing schools nearby, including St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy, and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School. With a capacity of 240 and currently 248 pupils on roll, the school is slightly oversubscribed, reflecting its strong local reputation. It is a Roman Catholic mixed primary with nursery provision for children aged 3 to 11, led by headteacher Luisa Maylard-Mason. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in March 2022, awarded it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clean sweep that matches its previous Outstanding rating from 2007.
